Ernestine McCarren in a KPR full-page ad

Here is a photo of my aunt, Ernestine McCarren in a full-page ad for the KPR (Kallir, Philips, Ross, Inc.) advertising agency. She helped market Tylenol and other medications in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

We danced together at Christmas but dementia has now taken her lovely energy from our world. When I think of her, I hear her saying her silly and uplifting “Oh Scu! Tank you, tank you!” in my mind, her nickname for me is “Scu” as in “Scooby Doo”, and she’d say “Thank you” with this most wonderful chime-tinkling voice!
